Lullingstone Country Park

We are in the process of moving house and last weekend we found ourselves in a bit of a predicament - we've already accepted an offer on our house but we were struggling to find anything in Bromley to buy in the area we are looking at - there was nothing new or left to look at within our price bracket so we'd started to give up on Bromley and took a drive to look at some other areas as a back up incase we needed to look further afield such as Longfield, Hartley, Kemsing, Shoreham, Enysford, Sevenoaks and a few others along the way.

Our drive took us past Lullingstone Country Park, somewhere I hadn't been before but wanted to see, so we made a spur of the moment stop for an adventure with the little people!

What a wonderful place and such good value for money - it's just £2 for the whole family - you only pay for car parking! It's only about 20mins from Bromley.

We had a good wonder around and came across things such as wooden giant minibeasts - Snail, Caterpillar, Butterfly and Bumblebee were all climbed on!

There was a brilliant snakes and adders obsticle course with all the woodwork resembling snakes and further on we came across a zip wire swing - a big hit with all kids! We also liked tiptoeing into a hidden bird watch hideout and peeping to see what we could spot.

There were plenty of colour markers if you were following a particular walking route - along the walks - and hill rolling - we discovered several rubbing posts - next time I'll remember to bringpaper and wax crayons for these! Blake and Maegan were fascinated!

We passed lots of other families, picnics and horse riders, some of the trail we followed went through woodlands and crossed onto a golf course too! The children felt happy enough in the open spaces to just run free and explore.

We would definitely visit again, we enjoyed this outdoor space very much.

This is our Sunday spot! I've got photos of the boys on the snails at all different ages. And the little café by car park do amazing hot chocolates :) Beautiful photos in this post! How great would it be to live nearer! X
